im a lil confused. the folder you provided is supposed to be inside of the original but renamed youtube(youtube.backup) folder? What I did was rename the original you.app folder to the youtube.backup. then put your folder inside of that and transferred the .png

@MakesMoves

No mate..

you need to rename the original "YouTube.app" folder to "YouTube.BACKUP".

Now put the "YouTube.app" folder provided by me in the main Applications folder and NOT inside the original YouTube.app folder.

I hope u get it now!

Guys, I'm new out here, how do I get the priviledge to download this file please?

[latinodancer15]

I downloaded this file, installed it, (making a backup, of course), restarted my phone, but now Youtube opens, and goes back to the Springboard.

I reinstalled my backup, yet Youtube still just crashes.

I also have tried this technique to see if it will fix Youtube from crashing, but to no avail.
Youtube Not Working On Your iPhone?: Steps To Fix

May anyone help me out; maybe provide your Youtube.app folder?

Hi Jajukhan,

This sounds fantastic as I use Vodafone and when I was on 1.1.1, I always had the Edge symbol showing and could use YT over Vodafone's GPRS network. But now I've upgraded to 1.1.4 I can only use YT on WiFi. So. my question is; when you refer to Edge are you really meaning Telstra's Edge network or can I use your fix to be able to use YT over a GPRS network?

Waiting for your reply before I try your fix.

Thanks,
Snapper11

When you made the backup of the original youtube.app folder, did you keep the backup in your iPhone or did you make the backup on your computer? Check if the permission on the youtube.app directory is 0755.

The whole point of having a backup is that if anything goes wrong you can just go back to normal... Therefore, it should not create any problems once the original folder is restored. Check if you followed the steps correctly.

@ Snapper11

I am in the UK. Over here EDGE & GPRS is both being provided by T-mobile who is my service provider... so for me there is no difference... we call it a data-plan and its part of my contract....

So, the answer is, Yes, you can use YT over GPRS network.

where do I find all the var, root... folders?

Well, I guess I didn't think of permissions. I have already recovered my phone after almost messing it up.

Anyways, I've tried this fix, yet I can't seem to make it work. I tried numerous times.

1. Connect to Wi-Fi.
2. Open WinSCP.
3. Navigate from root/Applications.
4. Backup original Youtube.app. calling it "Youtube.Backup.app."
5. Install your provided Youtube.app in root/Applications, while making sure to copy the image.png from "Youtube.Backup.app," and verifying that the permission is 0755.
6. Restart iPhone.
7. Check out EDGE. (If it doesn't work, redo the whole process.

I have tried this exact method around 5 times.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

[jajukhan]

the backup folder should be renamed to "Youtube.BACKUP" and not to youtube.backup.app

try this n let me know...

[Snapper11]

@Jajukhan
Thanks. I'd forgotten I wasn't on an Australian site. Over here Telstra is the only provider who has true Edge. Vodafone and all others have either G2 (with GPRS data) or G3 networks to choose from. So not being with Telstra, I do not have access to a true Edge connection.
Thanks,

Okay, so this is what I've tried. A couple of restarts, and nothing working yet.


1. Connect to Wi-Fi.
2. Open WinSCP.
3. Navigate from root/Applications.
4. Backup original Youtube.app. calling it "Youtube.Backup"
5. Install your provided Youtube.app in root/Applications, while making sure to copy the image.png from "Youtube.Backup," and verifying that the permission is 0755.
6. Restart iPhone.
7. Check out EDGE. (If it doesn't work, redo the whole process.

Youtube doesn't work at all when I install your provided Youtube. It just loads, and goes back to the springboard 100% of the time.

I've tried the process 3 times, and the same results. Is it normal for Youtube to crash?

Thanks for your help, by the way!

@LatinoDancer15

When I applied the patched it has happend to me as well ! YouTube crashing and going straight back to the springboard.. but the second time around it worked fine....


Please try this:

1. Copy the original YouTube.app folder to your PC.
2. Copy the files frommy YT.app folder to the original YT.app folder. If it asks to replace files click YES.
3. Copy this folder to your iPhone's Application folder as YouTube.app
4. Are you checking the permission correctly as 0755 and NOT as 0775.


Give it a shot...

Also, after you have done this fix and the error occurs. Delete the YT.app folder rename the original back to YouTube.app and see if the original is still working or not ???

[latinodancer15]

Lol. Now my original Youtube.app won't work or at least I think I deleted the wrong one by accident.

Either way, I can't get it to work. No matter how hard I try. Maybe it's the type of Tzones I have. Does this work for the 5.99 hack?

Also, care to share an original Youtube.app? I can't open YouTube anymore!

Thanks for your help!

Curious what the actual YouTube problem is exactly?

When I go to activate YouTube over EDGE, it launches the application. However, when it starts connecting to the EDGE network, it thinks for a bit and then it just crashes. The app shuts down and I'm back on the home screen of my iPhone. (AT&T, 1.1.4 by the way).

Any ideas?? Is this a common problem that this fix can help?
